Definitely one of my favorite games, but i've decided to give it a break until beta is over and Act4 is released. I want everything to be fresh for my first Act4 play through. Also i was a little let down by the supporter packs this go around. Was planning on buying one but i think i'll just save my money and wait.

If you loved Diablo2 and hated Diablo3, this is probably the game for you...

Looks good, but having not played it i just hope that it conveys the huge disconnect between the Generals and the actual situation that was so evident in WW1. Literally took years of Generals throwing troops at each others meat grinders before they learned a modicum of 20th century warfare. Of all modern day wars, this is the one i would least like to be in. I hope that it conveys this appropriately. That said, we need more games that cover the great war.

By now it runs perfectly smooth, has no issues with performance, ... in general, I'm having a blast, haven't come across a bug in weeks, and I'm at over 200 hours.

It really feels like old school Dungeon Keeper, so definitely look into it!

Dungeons 1 was a huge letdown, with the target of "entertaining" the knights in your dungeon, and placing things so they would be drawing their attention and giving them a good time instead of being a Dungeon Keeper... which is what people expected.

Haven't played Dungeons 2 yet though.

Thanks for the tip about War for the Overworld....was reading some user reviews, people say its pretty buggy, whats your experience in regard to this?

It did strike me that it could be a decent educational game to show kids the basics of what different parts of a car do and where they are. I wouldn't say the same for Farming Simulator.

I wasnt even aware of the 2014 version, prolly why it took me by suprise...wont happen again. Just someone alert me when they have video game simulator

Micro-transactions in solitaire? Maybe I'm not a greedy accountant/ceo type because I just can't think of a way to add micro-transactions to solitaire.

Simulator games are incredibly popular amongst Germans and insufferable autists.

You dont have to tell me this...i'm in g'damn Germania....going down the Software isle at Media Markt (read: Overpriced shitty Computer/Electronics store) and its Simulator nirvana....i just never thought it would attract someone who actually likes working on their cars to say 'Hey, i wish i could do this virtually!'

Learn something new everyday, but ya not saying its bad, just super surprised me...(i should know better)

I think the real problem thats going to come out of this is that Bethesda (or whatever company) will basically 'outlaw' free mods and require all mods be pay2play and on steam otherwise they get slapped with a lawsuit. Which will absolutely kill the modding scene as it is.
